An investigation is underway by the Florida Highway Patrol into a deadly accident that took place on State Road A1A in Ormond Beach on Saturday evening. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. south of Sandpiper Ridge Drive when a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette and a 2016 Jeep Wrangler were both traveling northbound. The Corvette attempted to overtake the Jeep in a no-passing zone resulting in a collision.
